[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 909684, member: 2310"] Zane... huh. There is no such thing as output sensitivity. Output voltage. Output impedance. Input impedance, input voltage. Input "sensitivity" is typically just a number that indicates the input voltage that is required for the power amp to reach the specified output power. 99.99% of the time you can double that with no ill effects. Overloading the input of power amp is certainly possible but it does not happen often in real life. Matching the preamp output voltage to power amp's input "sensitivity" is definitely not a requirement. Preamp has volume attenuation - that is it's main purpose so to say. You can throw away every other premap function but output attenuation will always be there. [/QUOTE]
